History: (Spider-Verse I#2 (fb) -BTS) - Dusk was recruited into the Multiversal Spider-Army to help defeat the Inheritors of Earth-001.


(Spider-Verse I#2) - Dusk joined numerous other Spider-totems on Earth-001's Loomworld in a battle against the Inheritors.

(Spider-Man IV#2 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Dusk was corrupted by Earth-616's Shathra the Spider-Wasp and transformed into one of her insectoid servants alongside many other Spider-totems from across the Multiverse.

(Spider-Man IV#2) - As Shathra plotted against the few remaining Spider-totems that had not yet been corrupted and converted to her cause, Dusk and Shathra's entire corrupted army stood by her side.



(Spider-Man IV#3) - Alongside the rest of Shathra's corrupted Hive, Dusk was sent to attack the Spider-totems in a Delvadian temple on Earth-616.

(Spider-Man IV#4) - Following the seeming erasing of Earth-616's Spider-Man from existence, Dusk was among the many Hive members still up and attacking the remaining Spider-totems, Earth-616's Arana and Earth-194's Night-Spider.



(Spider-Man IV#7) - After being freed from Shathra's control, the restored Dusk and a slew of alternate reality Spider-totems were deposited onto Earth-616, where they were immediately drawn into a battle against a gigantic Shathra. Upon Shathra's defeat, Dusk and the other Spider-totems witnessed the restoration of Earth-616's Spider-Man, Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) and the forgotten young Spider-Boy.

Comments: Created by Dan Slott and Ty Templeton.

    "Dusk"'s physical stats are based on Peter Parker of 616.

    We don't have 100% confirmation that this particular Dusk counterpart is Peter Parker underneath the costume. We do know that it is a male so it's likely not a counterpart of Cassie St. Commons and since "Dusk" shows up with several other Spider-totems, it seems likely that it is a counterpart of Peter Parker or...at the very least, it's a counterpart of someone who has Spider-powers. Otherwise, he would not have been drawn into the Spider-Verse war against the Inheritors. Speaking of names, we don't have confirmation that this character was actually called Dusk though it seems VERY likely, given the costume and the identity used while wearing this costume by Earth-616's Peter Parker...

    Regardless of who it is under the costume, we are also not given an origin for this counterpart of Dusk so we don't know if he gained powers by mutation, mutant genetics or some other form of empowerment.

    We only see Dusk's completely black hand in Spider-Man IV#4 so one might argue that the hand belongs to a different Spider-totem drawn to be in a shadow but considering Dusk was seen in one panel of #3 attacking Night-Spider, Spider-Man & Arana, it stands to reason that he'd still be there in #4. On a similar note, Dusk is incorrectly drawn in one panel without the Spider-Man-like eyes on his facemask (see above crowd shot headshot image) in his brief appearance in Spider-Man IV#7.
